Cedar PalaceB+

655 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL 60614 · Mediterranean restaurant, Bakery, Coffee shop · Lincoln Park

Welcoming, family-run Lebanese spot with standout hospitality, reliably tasty classics, and generous catering; prices run mid-high for the area and occasional dryness/seasoning variance appears in a minority of reviews.

Why this grade

Cedar Palace delivers exceptional warmth and family-style hospitality with an owner who greets guests by name, paired with solid food quality anchored by flavorful mezze and shawarma. However, inconsistent execution—occasional reports of dry meat or overly tangy seasoning—prevents a higher grade, and the pleasant but modest patio setting lacks destination appeal. For neighborhood Lebanese dining with genuine hospitality and reliable catering, it's a worthwhile visit.

One caveat: Beef items can run dry or overcooked on off nights; choose chicken or mezze if sensitive to texture
